    Case Summary The court acquitted the accused Avdhesh Kumar under Section 152(3) of the Indian Electricity Act based on his voluntary settlement of the offense. Although the accused was found to have illegally tapped electricity from a grid connection, consuming approximately 3 kilowatts, the court granted him acquittal because he paid the compounding penalty of ₹7,957 and the outstanding electricity bill of ₹31,829, thereby utilizing the statutory provisions for settlement before conviction.
